morning guys.
bought an A4 TFSI 2.0 S Line Special edition on friday, i knew of the BUL engine beforehand, and i'd done my research - its had a new pickup pipe, recent cambelt & pump, ive already done a replacement PCV and DV as the old PCV was causing idling issues.
However something I noticed straight away from looking at it there is a rattle around the turbo area and after some research its pretty common for the rod that links the actuator to the turbo rattles on TSI models from 2008- there is a clip that you can now buy from VAG for around £14 to sort the issue.
However , that is the K04 Turbo, AFAIK the BUL engine uses the K03 turbo, so dont know if the clip would work?
Had the car in for MOT last night - took the under tray off and if you put a screwdriver against the rod you can clearly feel the vibration on deceleration - its quite loud like sound of spoons in a tin, only on deceleration though, its annoying the life out of me! Cars on 137000 and its pretty perfect in every other respect!
Boosts fine, comes in about 2300 rpm & pulls hard up until the redline
just wondering if anyone else has the wastegate rattle on theirs and if they've solved it? Note - i have done my research but its mainly the 2.0TSI units which have suffered, not the BUL with the K03 turbo
Thanks in advance.
